this list focuses on products free of rosacea triggers (fragrance, essential oils, alcohol, dyes, propylene glycol, lanolin, stearic acid or palmitic acid, menthol, acetone & acetone substances, sodium lauryl sulfate, benzalkonium chloride, benzyl alcohol, camphor, urea) and that have azelaic acid, which is the active ingredient in Finacea, a prescription gel for rosacea with 15% azelaic acid. Azelaic acid per se has multiple modes of action in rosacea, but an anti-inflammatory effect achieved by reducing reactive oxygen species appears to be the main pharmacological action.
